I would remove the campus cops, and put ‘real’ police on patrol...fully armed.

“We Want To Be Easy Targets”
Let's see how long THAT little social experiment lasts.
“The administration will crack under the pressure...”
200 protestors? 20 camping out? That’s the ‘pressure’ they think will bring the University in line with their wishes?
Piffle. You can get 200 students to turn out for anything during the first week of classes, if the weather is good. Wait until the term gets going, and the season gets further into Fall. See how many show up then.
So wait a minute something is very fishy about this story. He was with a friend that had a gun that was about to get into a fight. I’m uncertain of the CC laws in Washington but in Ohio I can go to a bar and carry but not drink. So this responsible CCW holder was not only with a friend that was armed armed and drinking but he too was drunk and decided it was ok to take the weapon himself? On the surface this does not pass a smell test. Why didn’t the guy pull his friend away from the fight? What responsible CCW carrier hangs out with a “friend” who is armed and drinks? What kind of responsible CCW carrier places himself in a situation where he too is drunk and confiscates the firearm thereby committing a crime as well? Sorry something just does not add up
Give them want they want. Then withdraw All police protection and response from the area. Lets see how well that works for them.
Remove the cops, then LOUDLY let it be known that there aren’t any cops onsite to stop any shenanigans “in accordance with the wishes of (protestors group name)”
Put it in large signage and radio ads as a public recognition and acknowledgement of same.
Wait for Mass murdering psychos to appear.
BUT, I’m betting the protesters are mostly non-students who don’t care about campus safety.
My experience is that many of the campus cops were angry dykes on bikes.
The liberal mecca of Oregon.
But they’ll sue the campus cops next time there’s a bad guy on campus and the cops can’t subdue him.
Protesting to become easy targets.
Nine bullets by two officers, that's a pretty good hit-rate. Better than most of what I read about city cops ...
Who knew?
Expel the lot of them.
Today.
